A petition signed by citizens of
South Virginia street asking that
the street be graded and drained
was presented, with subscriptions
to aid the work amounting to $24O.
The plan was to cut down the street
between l4th and 18th and run the
water down 10 9th street. Mr.. j. A.
Twyman estimated that the proposed
work would cost about $500 and that
the water could be drained into the
sewer on West 18th street for $500 or
500. The Board decided to look in
to the matter and attend TO the drain
ing at once, but not undertake to cut
the street down for the present.
Messrs. Thompson, Beard and Gil
liland were appointed as committee

not more than 10 per cent. of which
will be expended in the search for
gas. If the efforts made are success
full plant will be laid and 1t will be
money-making scheme for the pro-
jectors. The stock is not all taken
and any one who wishes to can get
stock by applying to Judge Petree.
The cost of boring is about 50 so per
foot and gas is generally found at
1000 to 1900 feet. The company was
chartered by the last Legislature.
After discussing the work TO be
done during the ensuing year and ar
ranging to mop out the same to con-
form to the amount of money avalla-
bic, the meeting adjourned.

The Edible Crab.

subject of this sketch.

his dainty flesh, and at others in danger
OF atfording him banquet in return, is
the inspiration of this article, which, as
Will be observed, does not exactly aim to
follow its subject from the cradle to the
grave, but simply to seize upon the more
salient points of his career, and at the
same time to describe some of the pc
culiarities exhibited by him that are not
familiar to the ordinary reader.
From the beginning of his life, or, at
least, very soon after his introduction to
the watery world, the crab is addicted to
warfare, and though by no means averse
10 obtaining food without fighting, is al
ways ready for a fray. The younger
msmoers OF the race, after being them
serves IN the mud near the waters edge,
and thus hid, await the coming of spe-

water to drink, and it is rarely the case

GREER COUNTY.
Another Issue Presented to Which
Issue will Attach.

The Greer county land question has
been before the public IN one shape or
another since 1881, and has gone through
the legislature and the courts as we'll, but
it seems that another phase is TO be put
upon the matter, and one that will make
interesting reading as we go along. Mr..
Fl. G. Sweet, the Oldest settler in Greer
county, has been in the city for several
days. The object of his visit has.
been to see the governor, land COM
missioner and attorney-genera relative to
the titles of the people who have gone
into Greer county, and in good faith set
tied upon and improved lands for homes
Mr.. Sweet left for home last night. He
said to STATESMAN man just before leav-
ing that he once more felt that he had an
interest in the state; that the authorities.
had given assurance that the lands in
Greer county should be surveyed in alter
nate sections, one-half for the schools and
one-half for the public debt and that the
school lands would be classified aud placed
on the market for sale to actual settlers.
The STATESMAN is informed that Greer
county has made application to the state
for her four leagues of school land out
of the 800 leagues set apart for morgan
lied counties. and that the co missioner
has determined to issue the patents.
